Hill et al. (2007) data

Description

A dataset from Field, A. P. (2023). Discovering statistics using R and RStudio (2nd ed.). London: Sage.

Usage

hill_2007

Format

A tibble with 503 rows and 4 variables.

Details

Hill et al. (2007) examined whether providing children with a leaflet based on the theory of planned behaviour increased their exercise. There were four different interventions (intervention): a control group, a leaflet, a leaflet and quiz, and a leaflet and a plan. A total of 503 children from 22 different classrooms were sampled (classroom). The 22 classrooms were randomly assigned to the four different conditions. Children were asked On average over the last three weeks, I have exercised energetically for at least 30 minutes ___ times per week after the intervention (post_exercise). The data from the study has three variables:

• intervention: The intervention assigned to the classroom (control group, leaflet, leaflet and quiz, leaflet and plan).

• classroom: the classroom to which a child belonged

• pre_exercise: The exercise score pre-intervention (it's unclear to me from the paper how this was derived from the question asked!)

• post_exercise: The exercise score post-intervention (see above)
